Corey Booker on #Anger:

#BookerFilibuster

Senator Cory Booker is telling a great story of Alice Paul and the good trouble she got into protesting for Women’s Sufferage, jailed for it, force fed to break her hunger strike, the free press covering it, and upon release President Woodrow Wilson joining her in the call for women’s Right to Vote. https://youtube.com/live/v2utlMxAwtE

Alice Paul: Kämpferin für #Frauenrechte in den USA

Es sind nur 39 Wörter: Ein Verfassungszusatz, der Frauen in den USA ab 1920 das #Wahlrecht zugesteht. Eine, die dafür gekämpft und gestritten hat, war #AlicePaul. Geboren wurde die #Feministin und #Suffragette am 11. Januar 1885.

Visited the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial this week-end. It is a beautiful site located in the Occoquan Regional Park, where one can walk a 5K loop around the park with a section that runs along the Occoquan River.

#AlicePaul

She was the spring whence arose that irresistible river of women

Streaming steadily towards the National Capitol.

November 15, 1917 - About 20 women peacefully picketing for universal suffrage (right to vote), who had been arrested in front of the White House a few days earlier, were subjected to beatings and torture at Occoquan workhouse in Virginia.

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote. I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:
